Hi Everyone,
As we head into Super Bowl Sunday I had some thoughts about the party. It is really easy to get carried away with “traditional” party food. The key to having a successful party while eating The Good Mood Diet way is to follow some basic rules.
- Don’t save your calories by starving yourself earlier in the day. Eat normally earlier so you don’t eat every thing in sight during the game.
- Have some healthier choices for party food. Consider serving recipes from the book like the Turkey Braid, Spinach Tofu Dip and Chocolate Popcorn.
- Don’t eat during the game. This helps prevent nervous, reflexive eating. Rather, eat conciously during half-time.
- Lastly don’t over-do the alcohol! Choose beverages that are low in calories.
If you follow these suggestions, you’ll be a winner even if your team isn’t.
